ZIPLOC BAG OMELET



Ziploc Bag Omelet image

I use to prepare omelets in one of those omelet pans, but not anymore! Preparing them in those quart-size Ziploc freezer bags, is so much easier, a lot quicker, and hearty enough for 1-serving.

Provided by Cindi M Bauer

Categories     Other Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 7

1-qt. size ziploc freezer bag
2 large eggs
A sprinkle (or two) of black pepper (see *note)
1-1/2 to 2 slices of bacon, cooked & crumbled (see *note)
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 tablespoon diced green bell peppers
2-3 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Fill a large saucepan (half-way) with water, then bring water to a rolling boil. (I used a 3-quart saucepan.)
  • 2. While waiting for the water to come to a boil, crack the 2 eggs into the quart size Ziploc Freezer Bag.
  • 3. Seal the bag, and mush the eggs by squeezing the bag.
  • 4. Open the bag, add the black pepper, then add the bacon, onion, green peppers, and the cheese. Mush the ingredients together.
  • 5. Squeeze out as much of the air as you can, then seal the bag.
  • 6. Place the bag into the pan of boiling water, and boil exactly for 14 minutes. (After 7 minutes of cooking, I turn the baggie over. I do this using a pair of tongs.)
  • 7. Use tongs to remove the Ziploc bag from the boiling water, and place the bag onto a plate.
  • 8. Unzip the bag, or use a pair of scissors, and carefully cut off the top of the bag.
  • 9. Hold the two bottom corners of the baggie up over the plate, and let the omelet slide out onto the plate. Season the omelet with a bit of the salt, if desired.
  • 10. *Note: You can substitute McCormick's Hot Shots! Black & Red Pepper Blend, or Lawry's Seasoned Pepper, for the black pepper.
  • 11. *Additional note: You can use a variety of ingredients to make the omelets, such as: Canadian bacon, chopped ham or chopped pepperoni, other cheeses, also diced red, yellow, or orange bell peppers. Also, you can prepare 2 Ziploc Bag Omelets at the same time, but... by boiling them in a larger pot. (I used a 5-quart Dutch Oven.) Just be sure the pot you are using, is able to cook both baggies together, side-by-side.

ZIPLOCK OMELETS



ZIPLOCK OMELETS image

I love to entertain overnight guests. However, I have found that preparing omelets for a crowd can be a chore. Especially when the holidays are approaching - more family and friends staying overnight or stopping in for breakfast. This idea works great for those occasions. No one has to wait for their special omelet!

Provided by Pamela Thompson @spinetingler

Categories     Eggs

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large eggs for each serving
PREPARE BOWLS OF THE FOLLOWING:
- shredded cheese
- chopped ham, bacon, turkey, beef, sausage
- chopped onions
- chopped green peppers
- sauteed sliced mushrooms
- chopped tomatoes
- chopped spinach
- salsa for serving

Steps:

  • Have guests write their name on a quart-size ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
  • Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
  • Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake, Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
  • Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Keep the bag away from the edges of the pot. They're really hot and the plastic will melt. This means you will have to monitor it the whole time, but such is the price to pay. Do not microwave. The soft plastic will melt in the microwave and release toxic fumes onto your food.
  • Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.
  • Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.

OLD WIDOW WALKER'S ZIPLOC OMELETTES



Old Widow Walker's Ziploc Omelettes image

Mrs. Walker was my Sunday school teacher and we used to do this in the church kitchen, occasionally. This is my first memory of cooking that I cherish to this day. She keeps her age a closely guarded secret but is rumoured to be 115+ years old and perhaps, immortal. She has out lived three husbands and four children. She is still sharp as the Bowie knife she carries in her purse. I don't know why she carries a Bowie knife in her purse- but she always has. I asked her about it years ago and she said, "You would be surprised how often it comes in handy, Honey." I suppose it does, Mrs. Walker. God bless you. BTW- she is thrilled that I want to pass this on to another generation of schoolchildren. She was surprised that I remembered doing this with her over 35 years ago and was touched. When asked how to do it- she rattled off the instructions faster than I could write! I've eaten this bag-n-boil recipe for 40+ years with no toxicity what-so-ever, obviously. If it was toxic... I would be in too poor of health to type. Google the topic for yourself and make your own judgment. The danger is greatly exaggerated.

ZIPLOC BAG OMELETS



Ziploc Bag Omelets image

I know this sounds kooky- but after all where did I get this recipe but in an old tool box ! It is dated 7-2006 at the bottom. I think the idea is a good one so I wanted to share, no I have not made it YET ! You can cook for a lot of people in a short time. Just boil water instead of getting out the omelet pan! Read on ....

Provided by Cheri B

Categories     Breakfast

Time 18m

Yield 1 omelet, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs, large
1 tomatoes, diced
1 green pepper, seeded and dices
1 green onion, cleaned and chopped
1 cup ham, chunked
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
spices, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water on to a rolling boil.
  • Make the mixings for your omelets, each in a different bowl. YES WHAT EVER YOU WANT you do not need to stick to this recipe, because I did not intend to write a recipe just share the idea, get out what you want. Cheese, tomato, green onions, cooked breakfast meat-bacon, sausage, ham etc, hash browns, mushrooms, olives, salsa etc.
  • Give each guest a water proof marker, and a Quart size- zip lock bag.
  • Have them write there name on the bag, crack 2 eggs into bag, but not use more they will not cook right, it also says large or extra large eggs. Zip closed bag, or just be careful when mixing up the eggs.
  • Have guest mix up the eggs to scramble them. Unzip and add what ever ever they want. Now the recipe says get the air out of bag and zip closed, I'm thinking submerse bottom into a different bowl of water holding top of bag, carefully to not get water in bag. Zip closed.
  • Place each bag into a large pot of rolling boiling water, for EXACTLY 13 minutes. Take each out and wipe off water quickly, cut zip off of bag with scissors, and slide onto plate!
  • Pictures were enclosed with this recipe and it looks just too easy and good not to share. But I did not take them so I can not post them here. Sorry.

Tips:

  • Choose the right size bag. A gallon-sized bag is ideal for a single omelet. If you're making multiple omelets, you can use a larger bag.
  • Don't overfill the bag. The omelet will expand as it cooks, so leave some room at the top of the bag. The egg mixture should be just over half-full.
  • Seal the bag tightly. Press out as much air as possible before sealing the bag. This will help the omelet cook evenly.
  • Cook the omelet on low heat. The microwave is a great option for cooking ziploc bag omelets. Just be sure to cook the omelet on low heat for 1-2 minutes at a time, stirring in between.
  • Let the omelet rest before serving. Once the omelet is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before opening the bag. This will help the omelet set and prevent it from becoming rubbery.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Once the omelet is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, salsa, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Ziploc bag omelets are a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy breakfast. They're perfect for busy mornings or when you're on the go. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a perfect ziploc bag omelet every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give ziploc bag omelets a try.
